Grammys 2014: The most buzzed about fashions, from Katy Perry's glam to a luminous Taylor Swift to Beyoncé's brilliance

From the debate over Paris Hilton’s dress (who knew she could SING?) to the adulation for Taylor’s Swift’s bejeweled number, here’s some of the most buzzed-about looks of the 2014 Grammys, with some Twitter commentary mixed in, just to spice things up a bit.

What were we sold on? Well, in a word, everyone’s moxie. And Twitter agreed in many places, with a lot of viewers saying they liked EVERY dress and outfit they saw, from Madonna’s multiple pantsuits to Beyoncé’s dramatic wardrobe changes. Newcomers Lorde and Macklemore brought styles on their own, with the former’s looks dividing fans and non-fans alike.

Paris Hilton had one of the baddest dresses on the red carpet tonight #GRAMMYs

Paris Hilton’s dress could probably most easily be described as … Beyoncé with more fabric. And yet … and yet it had a “startling snow queen” quality to it, which led many to compare her gown to Bey’s.

What can you say about Madonna? As the Post‘s David Berry put it in our live blog Sunday night, Madge is really having her own Lucille Bluth moment. Although her son does seem ready and willing to help. Then again, Buster …

Taylor Swift … she wore a dress to dance in, and dance she did … all night. Shimmering and shimmying to Daft Punk, Beyoncé … Kendrick Lamar? Sure, why not. Did we see her dancing to Willie Nelson? No, but who knows?

Katy Perry has said recently she’s done with outfits that simply show skin, and so this elegant, music-inspired gown was the direction she went … and frankly, she could wear it again to the Oscars (or loan it to Paris Hilton?)

You’ll hear more this week about the “whiplash” move of Taylor Swift while performing during the Grammys, but she again showed up with an elegant gown onstage. Contrast that with Katy Perry’s morphing to a pop Wonderwoman knockoff and, well, you’ve got a tale of two pop heiresses, holding court in their ways.

And that’s to say nothing of Perry’s ethereal blue gown, which she changed into after the ceremony for the Universal Music afterparty. We’d go on the record as saying it’s our favourite of the bunch.

Boys will be boys, but we were reading a lot of Twitter posts that said fans were glad to see Dave Grohl dressed up. And Ozzy Osbourne? A revelation of understated metal elegance, right? Umm …

But quite a few people were defending the young singer, too, who, at 17, isn’t exactly experienced with the hopped-up hype machine of the Grammys, let alone the celeb glare of Twitter red carpet commentary:

I feel bad that people are being rude about Lorde, she's just a 17 year old kid. And frankly her dress is hot.
